Nominator's project description

Professor Sasaki is well known internationally for his outstanding work on the theory of cosmological perturbations. He combines a large variety of mathematical methods with intuitive physical insight. During his stay in Germany, he intends to work on the possible non-Gaussian features which are generated during inflation perturbations.
